[QUOTE="svessien, post: 4266765, member: 15481"]There are times when I wonder how much material is out there, and if there is a flood wave of coins waiting to be collected by a decreasing number of collectors. It may be just a day dream. I try to keep some kind of oversight on how frequent coins that I’m interested in are for sale. Some of them occur on almost every auction, and then I consider them overpriced. It may be just me who is underfunded, however. :) But I have put the 1/6 stater coins that you mention in the «not worth 300 dollars» category. On another note, there are several coins that are actually rare. I just spent a few hours searching for former sales of a coin type that I bought for 65 euros last week.
